Huge 7 Foot Alligator Tries To Climb Fence To Escape Capture

Of all things you could find in your backyard, an alligator is probably the worst. In a strange incident, a family found the huge reptile invading a home in their neighbourhood. The experience only became more bizarre when they noticed it trying to scale a fence in order to escape its capture. Facebook user Shari Sebuck from South Carolina, US, posted a rather scary picture of the beast and it's definitely not for the fainthearted.

"This is crazy. I have never seen a gator scale a fence like this," she says in a Facebook post shared on May 21 along with the picture. Ms Sebuck explains in the comments section that while the alligator looked 10 feet to her, it was about 7-feet-long. She even mentions that the gator had been wandering around the area for a while.

"I was taking a picture of how long the gator was, and in one fell swoop it got on top of the fence," Mr Sebuck told WCSC-TV. "I have never in my life seen a gator scale a fence. I didn't know they could do that."

The gator was eventually captured by South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
